• Topic: From AI Concept to Governance: A Practical Framework using DOE,
  Five-Layer Architecture, and ISO 42001
• Presentation Slides and Video posted after meeting
• Abstract:

- Many people assume AI simply turns data into decisions.
- In reality, the process is far more demanding - and far more important: only trustworthy data, combined with well-trained AI models and strong governance, can generate meaningful insights.
- Even then, critical decisions should remain guided by human judgment.
- This session gives quality professionals a clear, practical pathway from AI concept to operational governance - grounded in tools they already know.
- You will walk away with:
-- A Five-Layer AI Architecture you can apply to industrial and business environments immediately
A DOE-based validation methodology for evaluating machine learning systems with statistical confidence
-- An ISO 42001 governance framework mapped to real AI development and risk management challenges
-- Real-world manufacturing examples bridging technical validation with management systems
- Who should attend: Quality engineers, operations leaders, and technology managers navigating AI adoption in manufacturing or business environments.
